2. Activity’s Description and Services Provided

Our service is the transfer of the donations collected for a charity, chosen by the creator of a fundraising page. For this purpose We develop and maintain the Website and all related Services.

- Fundraising page creation:

Anyone can become a fundraiser, by creating a fundraising page.. When you have selected a project, you create your personal fundraising page, with a text, picture/video, a goal for how much you want to collect, and a date when the fundraising ends. When you are ready, you share the fundraising page with others, and they can support your fundraising page with donations to the project you have selected. You can always change text, picture/video, goal and end date on your fundraising page.

- Donating:

When you donate to a fundraising page, your donation is sent directly to the Charity organisation that the Fundraiser has chosen and that is shown on the Fundraiser page.

The email you receive directly after your donation is considered a confirmation for that donation. You can, additionally, request a receipt after your donation is made. To request a receipt, write to support@betternow.org. The implications from a tax perspective of donating to a Charity will vary from country to country, and as a Donor you should consult the relevant authorities in your own jurisdiction for guidance on these matters.
